Qlik Sense Pros and Cons

In my organization, we use Qlik Sense for interactive data visualization and analysis through dashboards, charts and graphs. I liked how customizable it is and the flexibility in allowing us to work with a wide range of data sources and connectors. Although it is not the most intuitive software, learning to use it is not impossible. Once mastered, it makes it possible to provide all the information users need and customize it according to their needs. It is also excellent when creating reports and has functions and filters that simplify the search for information and export data in different formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most striking disadvantages of Qlik Sense are the structuring of its prices that make it an expensive software and the learning curve it imposes; it takes some time to adapt and access the many benefits it offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Qlik Sense for the last 5 years in both public and private sector businesses and it has always been able to cope with any challenge I've thrown at it. It connects well to every data source I've come across and even integrates well by being able to push data into other sources if required via store commands and API calls. Behind the scenes you have a powerful scripting area, allowing you to do all your ETL and to build a data warehouse using highly compressed QVD files. in the front end you have an in-memory data model that allows for rapid data discovery. The visualisations are crisp and tidy. The real stand out element of Qlik Sense is its associative engine which allows users to see data that is related and unrelated to selections. No other BI tool does this and it helps trigger new lines of query such as "why are we not selling this product?" rather than just simply seeing your top performers.

There are many BI tools out there and their front ends all look as good as each other. I've tried most of them but Qlik is a BI developer's best friend because you have complete control over your data from start to finish. It also comes with master data items which apply a governance layer to self service apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The visualisations lose too much detail as they resize to adapt to smaller laptop screens but they can be expanded individually. I'd like to see more connectors out of the box and better predictive analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things that we like most about Qlik Sense is the opportunity it gives the user to use the platform with the language of their choice, and being their natural language makes the experience of using it something much more dynamic; I believe that any organization to have a natural language achieves that the information that ends up giving as a result on the data will be much more valuable and effective in understanding each development that you generate Qlik Sense. Sometimes we have found it very helpful that this platform allows us to create a central session of reports with rules imposed by the creator of the same; in this way, we managed to get important information to the entire team and that no authorized person make any changes to the initial information published.

We consider that the mobile application of this platform could be much more intuitive and effective, which has a big gap for improvement. It has a long learning curve, and customer support does not collaborate much to adapt to new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Qlik is very easy to use. You don't have to be a developer to create visualizations. We have quite a few business users that do great work in Qlik. I also like the variety of sources that you are able to connect to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't one thing in particular I dislike. Licensing can get a little expensive if you have a lot of users that will be accessing it. Because of this, we have to have another reporting tool for external users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can easily connect to data sources and can get a fruitful amount of insights which helps users for business with a great GUI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing Dislikes in QlikView, Need to change user interface like Qliksense Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data Security and interface is very good as compared to other products available in the market Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be highly appreciated if we get the more effective training support from the qlikview team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve for self-discovery of information for business users is very fast. As developers, the associative character and the speed of data loading is essential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What is really not very friendly is the qlikview server administration console. Just in version 12 we had a task finder. The use of the users' TShared is not well detailed and the license management could be greatly improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
